Within three minutes I got pickedup by one of those huge trailer trucks carrying 20 brand newcars. I climbed up the side of the cab and opened the door.The guy said, I don't have much room up here, why don't you getinto one of the cars out back. So I did. And he was reallyinto picking people up because he picked up 19 more. We all hadour own cars. Then he went 90 miles per hour and we all gotspeeding tickets.

Horace Greeley

Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.
